truth. i believe the DARE campaign failed, but not because of the reasons we think. i believe the campaign would have been far more successful if it targeted addiction rather than "drugs".
iirc, DARE also spent a lot of time showing examples of how drugs are actually fun (under the assumption that such incidents while high would be construed as bad! of course, kids realize that this would be fun)
But more than that, most kids would go home that night and have an older sibling pretty much "teach" them how everything at DARE is BS.
